Figure 10 is the skeleton diagram of ink-jet printer integral body.The ink gun 101 that the piezoelectric effect of utilizing piezoelectric element of having the ink-jet printer 100 of Figure 10 writes down makes the ink droplet that spues from this ink gun hit at recording mediums such as paper 102 to come recording medium is carried out record.Ink gun carries on the balladeur train 104 that is disposed on the main scanning direction X, moves back and forth and moves back and forth on main scanning direction X along balladeur train axle 103 corresponding to balladeur train 104.And then, ink-jet printer have make recording medium with the sub scanning direction Y of width (directions X) vertical direction of ink gun 101 on a plurality of rollers (travel mechanism) 105 of relatively moving.Ink-jet printer by the nozzle plate of nozzle bore with the China ink that spues, make drive part that China ink spues from nozzle and the part that China ink supplies to nozzle constituted.
Figure 11 A-C represents an example of the structure of ink gun.Figure 11 A is nozzle bore 121 and near cutaway view thereof.Nozzle bore leads to balancing gate pit 113, and 113 top is formed with oscillating plate 112 and piezoelectric element 111 in the balancing gate pit.Be full of inking in balancing gate pit 113, China ink is supplied with by black supply hole 114 from black stream 115.If piezoelectric element 111 is applied voltage, then piezoelectric element 111 and oscillating plate 112 bendings, the pressure of balancing gate pit 113 rise and from nozzle 121 China ink that spues.Hydrophobic treatment has been implemented on nozzle plate 116 surfaces, so that China ink 118 spues to certain direction from nozzle bore 121.In order to improve the pressure of balancing gate pit 113, the situation (bubble jet (Bubble Jet) (registration mark) method) of the method that makes black indoor generation bubble is arranged also.Figure 11 B is with the signal perspective view after the I-I line cut-out of Figure 11 A.Here only represent near the structure about 2 nozzle bores, but the forming a line of in fact a plurality of and its same configuration.Among the figure, the piezoelectric element 117 of having represented the left side and oscillating plate 112 bendings, from nozzle bore 121 to the spue situation of China ink 118 of the direction of arrow 119.In addition, as seen from the figure, having distributed 1 balancing gate pit 113 and piezoelectric element 117 for each nozzle bore, is general but supply with black black stream 115 for a plurality of nozzle bores, and China ink is supplied with by the black supply lines 114 that is opened in each balancing gate pit 113 from stream.Figure 11 C is the vertical view of observing from nozzle plate top.In this example, it is wide to be spaced apart about 340 μ m, about one list the nozzle bore 121 of having arranged 40 up and down 2 row arranged.Among the figure, the line 120 that surrounds each nozzle is the shapes that are positioned to the piezoelectric element of nozzle plate one side, the shape of the black stream of dotted line 124 expressions.Because 40 nozzle bores arranging to the left and right from a black stream are supplied with China ink, thus from about the spue China ink of same color of 40 nozzle bores.122 the expression base materials direction of feed, 123 the expression nozzle arrangement 2 row states.
Below the typical example of electronic installation manufacturing installation is done the ink-jet printer utilization in expression.Have by metallic colloid being depicted on the printed base plate, having formed the example (following Non-Patent Document 1) of the line pattern of lead on printed base plate by ink-jet method.Usually, in order on printed base plate, to form conductive circuit pattern, use in advance and after forming metal film on the substrate, form the wire circuit figure or in the zone that after formation, does not have resist behind the negative patterning that forms circuit on the substrate with the plating method, form the wire circuit figure, the method for removing resist then with resist film by photoetching process.Using the advantage of ink-jet method is directly to form circuit on printed base plate without the photo-mask process of taking time and energy.Therefore, circuit forms and becomes the short time, can significantly reduce manufacturing cost.And then, because need be in photoetching process, so under the situation of the trial production of the production of the circuit that carries out a small amount of many kinds or various circuit, need to make a large amount of photomasks, time and cost increase corresponding to the photomask (version) of manufacturing circuit.Relative therewith, owing in ink-jet method, do not need photomask, so be suitable for the circuit production of a small amount of many kinds, the trial production of circuit.
In addition, have by on substrate, describe functional organic molecule by ink-jet method form field-effect transistor (following Non-Patent Document 2), utilize electroluminescent display (following Non-Patent Document 3), the example of micro lens array (following Non-Patent Document 4) etc.Have if the functional organic molecular film that forms on substrate is exposed in the developer solution of resist or the stripper from base material and peel off or the trend of electric property deterioration, be difficult to form figure by common photo-mask process.Ink-jet method be owing to can make the deterioration in characteristics of functional organic molecule and form figure simply, so be promising as the manufacture method of the electronic installation that uses organic molecule.
In addition, in recent years, the DNA chip is widely used as being used for the mechanism according to genic horizontal detection people's physique, the diagnosis of disease, the effectiveness mode of medicine etc.So-called DNA chip, be thousands of~tens thousand of kinds of dna fragmentations or synthetic oligonucleotide (following they are called " dna probe ") to be separately fixed on the assigned position of the glass substrate on several centimetres four limits or silicon substrate etc. form, with the situation of measuring many genic discoveries simultaneously or detect whether there is specific gene be that purpose is used.Proposed to make the method for this DNA chip with ink-jet method.That is, be configured to ink-jet method by the liquid that will dissolve dna probe on the position of regulation of base material, can form DNA chip (following Patent Document 1) with low cost easily.
In order to make electronic installation and DNA chip, need correctly liquid to be configured on the assigned position of substrate with ink-jet method.Generally, preestablish the initial position of ink gun and substrate, while, liquid is configured on the assigned position of substrate by making the head and the relative position of substrate be offset the amount that the is predetermined drop that spues.If the figure of the drop of describing is about hundreds of μ m, then can enough this methods correctly describe.But, since the influence of the thermal expansion of the initial position of ink gun and substrate or the fixed form that amount of movement is subjected to substrate, base material that variations in temperature is brought and in the scope of μ m sheet example (dispersing), so the figure of describing μ m~tens μ m with said method is very difficult.
In addition, in the liquid that uses ink gun spues, though rare, there is nozzle bore to stop up and situation that liquid can not spue.For repeatability is made electronic installation and DNA chip well, whether the detection drop spues exactly also is very important.
In following Patent Document 2, proposed to make reactive material to be fixed on spotting device on the ad-hoc location of test section.In this special permission, the position of the vision camera identification substrate of the oblique upper of the substrate by being arranged on the configuration drop correctly is configured in drop on the substrate.
In addition, in following Patent Document 3, proposed to possess the ink gun of a plurality of nozzles and above-mentioned hair is gone out from the spue dna probe solution device for discharging fixed of mechanism of driving signal of liquid of the nozzle of regulation, it is characterized in that having to the light projector mechanism of the solution light projector that spues from said nozzle and be subjected to the optical mechanism that is subjected to of light from above-mentioned light projector mechanism with the dna probe solution that spues.Whether the direction of light that penetrates is parallel with the face that spues of ink gun, by accepting the light by the reflection liquid that from the beginning spues, detect solution and normally spue.
In addition, in following Patent Document 4, the manufacture method of the organic el display of following formation has been proposed: when forming organic layer on the pixel on substrate spue the liquid phase organic material by ink-jet method, (a) on substrate, form the image recognition figure in advance, (b) obtain substrate or locations of pixels information by discern above-mentioned image recognition figure by pattern recognition device, (c) according to aforesaid substrate or locations of pixels information, the moment of control ink gun and substrate or the locations of pixels cooperation and the liquid phase organic material that spues.In the document, show pattern recognition device is discerned figure in the rear side of substrate, by transparent or semitransparent substrate recognition image with respect to the ink gun fixed configurations method.At this in the past in the example, not open for the illumination light that the recognition image recognition device is required with respect to the allocation position of substrate or image.
According to present inventors' result of study up to the present as can be known, in order to be configured in the fine liquid drops figure below the hundreds of μ m, need make being spaced apart below the 1mm of discharge opening and substrate.This is because if should be at interval bigger, then the liquid that comes out from discharge opening changes the direction of circling in the air attached to being subjected to cross-ventilated influence during on the substrate.And then, if bigger at interval, the situation that also has small drop before being attached on the substrate, to vapor away.
In the device shown in the Patent Document 2, because vision camera is configured in the substrate oblique upper, so if being spaced apart below the 1mm of discharge opening and base material then be can't see the position of the substrate under the discharge opening.Particularly, under the situation with the ink gun of arranged in high density discharge opening on the nozzle plate, be in substrate location under near the nozzle bore the nozzle plate center and be the behind of nozzle plate end and can not detect by vision camera.
Equally, in the device shown in the Patent Document 3, owing to need the parallel light of enemy (head) irradiation, so if the interval of head and substrate shortens, then light is difficult to incide between them.
In Patent Document 4, because the corresponding ink gun of vision camera is configured in the dorsal part of substrate, so, also can observe the zone of the substrate that will dispose drop even the interval of ink gun and substrate diminishes.And for the position with vision camera identification ink gun or substrate, need utilize light source that light is radiated on ink gun or the substrate, makes from the light of its reflection and incide the vision camera, but in Patent Document 4, for how to carry out configured light sources not openly.Generally, use light source is placed method between vision camera and the substrate.But, in the method, in order to dispose light source the distance of substrate and vision camera is left, under the zone of the substrate that will discern is situation about μ m, in order enough vision camera to catch this small zone, need large-scale optical system, become big so device is whole.Therefore, the position of vision camera has to fix.Vision camera also is fixed in Patent Document 3.Under only some mobile situations of substrate or ink gun, the relative position relation of substrate and ink gun can utilize arithmetic processing circuit to derive simply based on the information that obtains from vision camera.On the other hand,, need to improve the speed of droplet configuration, so on one side must be on one side make ink gun and substrate mobile simultaneously from a plurality of nozzle bores drop that spues simultaneously for ink-jet method volume production electronic installation.In this case, since each moment of the relative position relation of vision camera and substrate and vision camera and a plurality of nozzle bores all in conversion, so in order to derive the relative position relation of substrate and ink gun, arithmetic processing circuit becomes on a large scale.These results that bring are the problem that the price that the droplet configuration device of Patent Document 4 has optical system and arithmetic processing circuit to become on a large scale, install also uprises.
